I'm using TestFlight for my apps.
When I uploaded a new ipa file to testflight, testflight sent me 1 email.
I only read this email by Mail App on my MAC. I didn't open testFlight app on any smartphone.
And the status is "Email Opened" (following pic)
How can they do that?
Anyone like me :(, they sent virus via email ?????
If this is HTML mail they probably have attached an unique identifier to an image that is loaded externally.
If you have a image in your email that is loaded from the resource
http://someweb.com/image1.jpg
they change the URL in each email to something like
http://someweb.com/image1.jpg?youruseridintheirsystem (http://someweb.com/image1.jpg?gf145ffgoo)
When that image is loaded they know that you have opened the email because of your unique identification is in the request.
There are many more ways to do this but this is one way.

I have a problem with Laravel mail image embedding or rather its combination with Outlook. I'm sending a mail containing embedded profile image of user who created certain activity. For some reason some people however don't see the image only big X icon:
I have tried attaching the image to the mail
The mail is coming from same domain
I was able to see the image even when I sent testing mail to my personal gmail account
My settings are the same as the person who is not able to see the image
EDIT:
image tag: <img class="img" src="cid:generated_id#swift.generated">
My app uses a parse.com backend. I'm having problems changing the confirmation sent from parse when users sign up. they get an email that asks them to confirm their email address but instead of it being from parse I want to change it to an email that has my own branding on it. Any thoughts?
I'm pretty sure you can do it on the dashboard. Go to parse.com, select your app, then settings, then email. There you'll find the templates.
Odd one here.
I am embedding an image in an email using a linked resource. It doesn't show in the original generated email but when I click on reply or forward it shows up fine.
The following happens with Outlook.com (Hotmail) and Chrome/Firefox:
It doesn't show in either the default view or reply view in IE
It shows the image in the original and the reply on my iPad native email client
It shows same as Chrome/Firefox in Opera on the iPad.
Anyone know how to fix this anomaly?
Thanks

Is it possible to read the content of lets say the last email in a specific email inbox? I´m developing an app for a company and I would like for anyone to be able to send an email to a specific address, and then the content of that email would be visible in a text field inside the app. But for that to work the app will have to be able to have access to a specific email. I bet there are other ways of updating a textfield inside an app but this would make it so easy for everyone to be able to update this news feed.
Thanks!
Third-party apps have no access to the system Mail app’s database. If you want to access the contents of an email, you’ll need to connect to that server and retrieve its mail yourself.
My WP7 application requirement is to send the email with an attachment and use device default SMTP settings.
I have tried EmailComposeTask class but it doesn't have any member for attachment.
The other idea, i am thinking is to upload the file on server and then send the email from that server.
What you think if there is no way to send the email with an attachment using WP7 API?
Your observation is correct, at this point in time EmailComposeTask doesn't support attachments and this is the only facility to send email programatically from the device at the moment.
As you note, you can communicate with a server which can perform this task on behalf of your app.
I found a wp7 and wp8 library that does it: http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/marketplace/components/livemailmessage
Try to create web service to send mail in your webserver. so, we can call the from your app to send mail.
I hope upcoming version it will be possible!

I've found this article, but I did not make any test yet.
From the author:
EmailComposeTask won’t allow you to send attachments, but this doesn’t mean that you cannot send files through it. .NET Framework has these two amazing methods: Convert.ToBase64String and Convert.FromBase64String. The first will allow the developer to convert a byte array (byte[]) to a Base64-encoded string, the other one will do the same operation in reverse.
